Everyone prime (current Luka), which trio would you take for the 2022 playoffs?

Nash and Luka fit is suspect, but talent difference is way too large to pass up the first trio.

I'll take the goofy white dudes. Curry's had his worst year since 2013 or 2014, and KD while he seems closer to his peak than Curry, is also well past it at this point. Klay..is just the worst of these 6 easily.

Edit: Wait, am i supposed to use current KD and Curry or am i allowed to use their peak version? Because it gets a lot more interesting if so.

If you're using current Klay you have to use current Dirk as well :lol:

The fit is so meh stacking offensive talent that high. I think you'd be better served slotting DFS in between Nash/Dirk.

It's close due to the >>> talent gap from Luka to Klay (I prefer Curry to Nash slightly and have KD/Dirk approximately equal), but I think I'd go with the Warriors trio.

Working presumption that I'm filling the rest of the roster with a bunch of minimums and an MLE or two.

Warriors trio for me. Better fit and fewer gaps to fill defensively, and I still get two MVPs in the deal.

Warriors have 2 good defensive players and are only lacking passing. First trio would be hard to cover defensively and Nash/Doncic skills overlap quite a lot.
If all healthy I'm easily taking Warriors trio.

I'll take my chances with the first trio, and somehow I'm gonna figure out the lineups/talent/defense around them.

Got to go with the Warriors. We've seen how dominant they can be. When Nash and Nowitzki played together it wasn't anything special.

They only anchored the greatest offensive team ever. It was without Luka as well.

Well I don't know if I buy that but I probably am selling them short. I was going off of my memory of living through the time period and the relative lack of hype I remember compared to the Warriors. But going by the ORtng+ rating they were a historically great offensive due so I stand corrected. When you add in Luka it makes this a competition.

It's hard to not go with Steph/Klay/Durant since we actually saw it happen. Nash/Luka/Dirk would obviously be absurd though and the fit is solid as well. I voted for the GSW trio though.
